He mentioned that 2024 is the first year for the integration of RWA and DeFi - the real application moment of RWA is coming. Whether it is the outstanding performance of the first Tokenized Fund-BUIDL established by the asset management giant Blackrock, or the first cooperation between ONDO and DEX, it shows this. DMZ is honored to be the Web3 technology partner of two world-class banking institutions, providing a solid technical infrastructure for the upcoming RWA real application moment (RRA) in the Asia-Pacific region.
